(Y/N) and T'Challa were sleeping. T'Challa had his hand on her stomach when he left a few kicks. T'Challa instantly woke up and put both hands on (Y/N)'s stomach. This woke her up and annoyed her.

"Unless you are asking if I want anything stop it." She growled.

"No I can feel the babies kicking. I can't believe there is actually life in there. That is our babies in there." He whispered.

"Oh yeah. That is where I hid them." She mumbled softly. "Now, I love you but you woke me up."

"Oh sorry." T'Challa relaxed again until the babies kicked again. Before he could react (Y/N) pushed him out of the bed. "Did you just really?" T'Challa asked from the floor.

"Yes." (Y/N) said with a smile.
------------------------------------

"I love the fact that you are showing." Shuri said to (Y/N) as they sat in her lab.

"Why?" (Y/N) asked not looking up from her phone.

"Because it means I will shortly have a small children to play with."

"Honestly, not where I thought you were taking that." (Y/N) said in surprise making Shuri laugh.

"How much lon-" (Y/N) grabbed her stomach and took a few deep breathes. "Are you okay?" Shuri asked walking over to her.

"I think-ahh" (Y/N) groaned.

"I think your water broke." Shuri said helping her to an medical bed on the other side of the lab. "Someone get a doctor and T'Challa!"
----------------------------------

T'Challa knocked the warrior to the ground again. He stood up then helped the warrior off the ground. As he helped the younger warrior with his stances when the nurse ran in called out to him.

"Ukuphakama kwakho, umfazi wakho uye wavuka. Unomntwana wakho wokuqala ngoku( Your highness, your wife has gone into labor. She is having your first child now)!" The nurse yelled. T'Challa froze for a second before running to her. The nurse seemed to be slightly panicking. "She has gone into labor so quick. We have never seen anything like it before."

"Kumnyama Omnyama's bodies have been molded to give birth then be able to be up and moving within 10 hours. They are trained to protect. (Y/N)!" He called as he approached her and took her hand.

"What took you so long?!" She growled.

"I-"

"Oh my gods you froze! I am literally- ahh!"

"It's a girl." The doctor said handing the baby to the nurse. "Now you should have a couple min-"

"No I won't!"

"No she won't!" T'Challa and (Y/N) said at the same time.

"I hope you enjoy two children cause this is all you are getting!" (Y/N) growled.

"It's a boy."

"If the first one was a girl I figured the second was a boy."

"Here your highness." The nurse said handing the femlae to T'Challa and the male to (Y/N). The two of them cooed over the children for a couple minutes before T'Chaka, Ramonda, and Shuri came in. When they only spoke to the two instead of trying for the babies (Y/N) became confused.

"Hold on. For the last 6 months you three have been baby everything. They are here and now you act like they aren't. What's going on?" (Y/N) said looking at them.

"We like our throats and don't want you to rip thwm out." Shuri said.

"Why would I rip your throat out?" (Y/N) asked.

"You just gave birth. We figured you would be killer protective." Shuri laughed.

"No way I trust you guys. Come here, Shuri. Come hold, Kali." (Y/N) said nodding her over. Shuri's eyes widened and she hurried over to (Y/N) so she could hold her.

"You want to hold Kamau, Umama?" T'Challa said softly. Ramonda was moving way before T'Challa finished his statement.

"The name of the king who married Kellan?" T'Chaka pointed out. T'Challa and (Y/N) shared a look.

"The last time a king who was Black Panther married his soul mate who was a Kumnyama Omnyama was when Kellan married Kamau." T'Challa said.

"They had twins. One boy and one girl." (Y/N) said as she leaned against T'Challa.

"Imbali iphinda iphinda(History repeats itself)." T'Challa said making everyone smile. The silence was almost maddening to (Y/N) but it was quickly cut short when she could feel it. She sat up and turned her head to her left eyes still close. Her eyes snapped open and she pulled out her IV. Instantly, the doctor was in the room before he could say anything (Y/N) was speaking.

"We all know it's a miracle I left it on this long." The doctor just turned and left.

"I feel bad for that doctor."  T'Chaka said. T'Challa was the first to make a comment on (Y/N) moving.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Someone is... Was watching us." She said looking around she checked seemingly everywhere before before stopping and growling. "I can't tell who it is!"

"Hey you just gave birth. Your senses are all over the place." T'Challa reassured her.

"That's the thing. My senses aren't scrambled they are heightened. I know the scent. My struggle is placing it." She said. T'Challa pushed her back into bed.

"Don't worry okay? We will keep the twins right here with you. Shuri amd I will switch but me and dad will look into this further." He said as Ramonda and Shuri put the babies back with (Y/N).

"Sleep my dear." Ramonda said. The three slipped off and T'Challa pulled a chair to her side. (Y/N)'s eyes slowly started to drift shut.

"I love you all." She mumbled. Kali gripped a bunch of her hair while Kamau held Kali's hand and the only finger on (Y/N)'s hand that his hand could wrap around. T'Challa pressed a kiss to each head. One after the other after the other.

"Your highness?" The exhausted doctor said coming back. "A word?"

"Of course." He whispered getting up and moving towards the doctor. T'Challa and the doctor walked off a little. With every step away they took the shadow took a step closer. The shadow pulled a knife from a holster and held it above the babies.

"I shall wipe the scum from the earth." (Y/N)'s reaction was quicker than the shadow thought. She woke Kali but Kamau slept through. (Y/N) was im her panther form as T'Challa and a few Dora Milaje came around the corner. When she saw who she was holding down she stood up, transforming back to her human form.

"Talib." T'Challa and (Y/N) said at the same time.
